What's up, adventurers? This week on the podcast, I sit down with one of my teammates, Mr. Rich Christie of Crazy 88 MMA, to discuss his martial arts journey from Muay Thai to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and his recent promotion to Blue Belt. Rich shares what led him to start training in the first place and then making the transition to grappling, the challenges he faced, and how BJJ has impacted his approach to training. We also dive into an important conversation about finding safe and reliable training partners—why it matters and how it can shape your growth in the sport. Plus, we wrap things up with some fun Rapid Fire questions. Whether you're a seasoned grappler or just getting started, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration. Tune in and enjoy the roll.

What's up, Nerds??? This week on the podcast, we nerd it up as I sit down with returning guest Mike Leng to dive deep into the ever-evolving landscape of nerd culture. We kick things off with a discussion on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and how its trajectory has shifted over the years before exploring James Gunn’s vision for the DC Cinematic Universe and what it could mean for longtime fans. Our conversation then takes a nostalgic turn as we examine Star Wars and its heavy reliance on familiar elements—does it enhance the franchise or hold it back?

From there, we journey into the intricate and immersive world of Warhammer 40K lore and the growing appeal of the franchise. We also geek out over Legos and Lord of the Rings, celebrating the creativity and enduring impact of these beloved franchises. Mike and I also tackle the topic of toxic fandoms, discussing how online communities can both uplift and tear down the things they claim to love.

Finally, we reflect on the importance of passing down nerd culture to the next generation. How do we introduce kids to the things we love while avoiding the pitfalls of gatekeeping and toxicity? Whether you're a lifelong fan or just getting into nerd culture, this episode has something for everyone.
